SOLONS ACCUSED BY REP. HEFLIN

lAttacks Five During Bernstorff “Slush” Fund Hearing Before Body. < CONGRESSIONAL QUIZ NEAR Representatives Britten and Mason of Illinois and Baer and Senator La Follette Asked to Answer Serious Charges. Washington, Sept. 28. —Representative Thomas Heflin of Alabama broke the Bernstorff $50,000 slush fund scandal wide open in the house. He named five legislators and demanded information of what connection they had, If any, with pro-German activities. With his startling accusations he removed immediately all doubt of a congressional investigatioif occurring. Nothing can prevent it now, regardless of administration wishes. Goaded to expose the men he accused, he named these: Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, Representative Fred A. Britten of Chicago, Representative William E. Mason of Chicago, Representative Patrick D. Norton of North Dakota, Representative John M. Baer of North Dakota. The names were brought out by Heflin when he appeared before the house rules committee, which is considering resolutions offered by Norton and Fordney of Michigan, to probe the Bernstorff fund and its application to congress. Immediate Inquiry Urged. When word came he had mentioned these five sentiment demanding immediate and exhaustive inquiry spread through the house membership. If the rules committee reports the resolution it will go through in a hurry. If the resolution is not reported soon any one. of several members is likely to rise to a point of highest privilege and force either Heflin’s proof or his expulsion from the house. Of the men named, four were in , Washington. Senator La Follette declined to answer questions concerning the Heflin charges. Norton, Britten and Baer issued warm retorts. Mason whs in Chicago. . Heflin’s Open Charges. In an impassioned speech, Heflin demanded that the rules committee ask for a general investigation so that he might learn: 1. Where the inaney came from that produced literature supporting the antidraft bill of Representative Mason. 2. Where the money came from that produced literature supporting the Britten resolution to exempt GermanAmericans from military service abroad. 3. What congressmen are planning to line up with the nonpartisan league that elected Baer and which is said to oppose the war. 4. Who are in the organization “La Follette is championing that will leave the president without an army.” 5. Why Norton insists on turning the proposed slush fund investigation against him, Heflin. Mr. Norton was present at the committee meeting while Heflin was making his speech. Saying he understood several congressmen wanted him expelled because he mentioned suspicious members, Heflin turned to Norton and dared him to vote for the expulsion. “I’ll have something to say about you before the investigation committee if it is created,” Heflin declared, facing Norton. rfeflin then demanded a committee to thrash out the whole Bernstorff slush fund story.

Ysubrand de Compenaer of the Dutch flying corps, for more tlianUi year in service on the German frontier patrol, who arrived, told of German army conditions. He said: “The German soldiers are tired of the war. Many are hungry and many haggard. Thousands of German deserters have* crossed the Dutch border, ’ Those in uniform have been allowed their freedom, to work as they pleased. “The emaciated deserters who crossed the frontier just before I left said they were being fed on soup and black bread for breakfast, vegetables and sometimes goulash for the ‘big’ noon meal, and soup and black bread again for supper.”

Agents Act When President Wilson Is Assailed— Riot Averted. ■ ■ ,'U New York, Sept. 28.—Swooping down on the platform and hurling five of the speakers bodily from the rostrum, fifty detectives and twelve secret service men broke up a mass meeting of conscientious objectors’ league in the labor temple. Rioting broke out, women in the crowd began screaming, but the quick work of the police overawed the throng and violence was averted, j United States Marshal McCarthy gave the signal for the ending of the meeting while Louis. Fraina of tin? New International was s'speaking. Fraina said: “This country is cursed with a president who is particularly adept in coining phrases which mean nothing to democracy, but whose influence is like the poison of a snake. We are going to be compelled to fight, if they can compel us. I say right here they cannot compel coilscientious objectors to do it. We have made up our minds to go right through With this thing.” Marshal McCirfthy then gave the signal. Fraina was hurled from the stand by detectives. Charles S. Sonnenscheiu, general organizer of the league, sprang to the platform despite his lameness. “This meeting will proceed andv” He got no further. He too was flung from the platform. “Don’t hurt him 1 Don’t hurt him 1” shrieked women in the audience. A man described as A. Turner then took the platform. He was also thrown out. Another man, whose name the police could not stop to take, followed. E. Ralph Cheyney came next. “Free speech in America is dead,” he cried. “Another assassination has taken place. This meeting is adjourned, but the work of the league is not dead.” Stalwart detectivescut short his further utterances. Detectives cleared the hall, Fraina and Clkeyney were arrested, charged technically with having failed to produce regi st rat ioti cards. > .

Col. E. M. House Admits President Ordered Data for Conference When War Ends. New York, Sept. 28.—C01. E: M.

The United States is belated in taking up its activities along this line.”
